Official code for CVPR 2022 paper ImFace: A Nonlinear 3D Morphable Face Model with Implicit Neural Representations.
The paper presents a novel 3D morphable face model, namely ImFace, to learn a nonlinear and continuous space with implicit neural representations. ImFace explicitly disentangles facial shape morphs into two separate deformation fields associated with identity and expression, respectively. Then, we can interoperate identity and expression embeddings to generate high quality 3D faces.
The code is compatible with python 3.8.10 and pytorch 1.9.0.
You can create an anaconda environment called imface with the required dependencies by running:
conda create -n imface
conda activate imface
pip install -r requirement.txt
Release the ImFace++ trained on FaceScape dataset. We propose a refinement displacement field which can faithfully encode high-frequency details, thereby enhancing the representation capabilities of ImFace++. ImFace++ can reconstruct and synthesize 3D faces spanning a wide range of facial expressions and it renders more vivid results.
Technical details of ImFace++ can be found in this research paper: ImFace++: A Sophisticated Nonlinear 3D Morphable Face Model with Implicit Neural Representations
Checkout to the branch ImFace++ for more details of generation and fitting.
We sample 5,323 face scans from 355 persons with 15 expressions from the FaceScape Dataset. The data contains each individual's mesh and key points, which can be used in our experiment.
First, you have to extracted the TU mesh downloaded from FaceScape to dataset/FacescapeOriginData. Then, to get pseudo watertight mesh and samples from the face, run:
python data_preprocess/preprocess.py
For more information on the preprocessing, we recommend you to our paper.
After preprocessing, the dataset folder sturture is as follow:

| └——————1 # person identity
| └——————1_neutral.obj # TU mesh
| └——————2_smile.obj # TU mesh

For training ImFace, run:
python run/train.py [--config file's name]
Please check pathes in your config file are both correct. Results can be found in result/<timestamp>/.
Our trained model can be downloaded as follow:
| Trained Model | Description |
|---|---|
| ImFace(SE3) | deformation with a SE(3) field |
| ImFace(translation) | common translation deformation |
For evaluating chamfer distance and f1_score of testing set with trained model, run:
python run/fit.py [--config file's name]
Please modify the load_path in config file with your checkpoint's path and make sure warp_type matches the trained model. Results can be found in result/<timestamp>/fit.
For fitting one sample, which is generated from FaceScape toolkit, run:
# preprocess demo data
python demo/process.py
# fit demo
python run/fit_one_sample.py [--config file's name]
Please modify the load_path in config file with your checkpoint's path and make sure warp_type matches the trained model. Results can be found in demo/fit.
